I don't personally have experience with the JF-1631, but my partner Dave does. He is currently unavailable for a few days, but if it is like any other Mimaki machine when an ink cartridge runs out it will beep and return to local. You should be able to replace the cartridge and continue...

Old dampers are the most likely cause of this as Solvent Inkjet said. If you pull the head cover off and can inspect the dampers I would guess there will be a blister on the left side of the 2nd damper that is causing the compression valve to open while printing and ink to flow through the head...

What software are you using? You usually have to use spot color replacements or a special swatch chart in the design that will allow the RIP to render the file out to lay silver or white inks.

First off are you sure it is a JFX200 printer? The JFX200 has LED lamps that do not generate the heat like the Metal-Halide lamps do and the LED lamps are said to last 5,000-10,000 hours. What are they using for a RIP and do they have the MAPS2 feature turned on in the printer? MAPS2 helps...

The firmware has nothing to do with the operating system of the computer. The firmware is only on the printers and will be compatible with the XP os.

Recently I've had good luck resolving banding issue on customer's JV33s and CJV30 printers by updating the FW and applying the MAPS feature. I feel like many users are unaware that this feature is available on older machines (like JV33 and CJV30) so wanted to share some info about it here. MAPS...

The JV33-260S printers print beautifully on paper as long as you have a good profile generated for your ink and paper. I wouldn't recommend moving the head and capping station to the higher position unless you absolutely have to(I am not talking about the thick thin, but there is actually an...

It very well could be the nozzle plate coming loose, but it could also be the cap top being dirty and sitting on that area of the nozzles, capping adjustment could also cause this if the cap is too high, or if the cap isn't draining fully and is wicking waste ink back into the nozzles from the...

I believe he has a JV3-160S not a JV33-160S. This machine doesn't have the option of running USB only parallel or firewire. As for running your FlexiSign on two computers, the only legal way possible is if you shut the program down on one remove the security dongle and plug it in to the other...

Something else you can try is to swap cyan line and damper to another channel on the head. Do a hard cleaning or two and a test print. If the deflection follows the ink line and damper then you know its an ink issue. If it stays at that channel on the print head it means those nozzles have...

You said you are using water-based inks. I am assuming this is dye sublimation? How high of a head gap are you running? I am assuming you are printing on transfer paper? Did you physically change the head, capping station, and wiper station into the higher mode when you set it up for dye...

We haven't replaced them on a JF, but have replaced them on JV5-320s when we refurbished them. We only replaced the bearing slides themselves. The head carriage bolted to the slides in 4 places each, if I remember correctly. Unbolt and replace them one at a time if possible. In order to...

Hi Murray, We convert JV33s and JV5's from solvent to dye sub pretty often. We always replace the cap, top dampers, and pumps prior to loading the dye sublimation inks into the machine after flushing the machine out with the following: 1. cleaning fluid 2. air 3. acetone 4. air 5. isopropyl...
